Ball Ground Tavern — Restaurant in Ball Ground

We will not be returning. I was actually hesitant to write a review since it is such a new restaurant. Me and a friend went here more than a month ago it was about 2 weeks after they opened we went for lunch on a Friday. There was a few tables but they were not packed. We were excited to come because we had been eyeing their menu online for a couple weeks and were really excited about some of the low carb options like salad and wings. When we got there it turns out they had a limited menu which they did not advertise online. The menu they showed online had more than 30 items including salad, which we specifically asked for and were told they do not have that to serve. It was basically just some bar food. My friend ordered some kind of grilled rice bowl and I went with chicken fingers and fries since I figure it would be hard to mess that up. We waited more than 15 minutes for a cocktail and more than 50 minutes for our food. The drink was delicious however they served it in an old PGA glass that looked like someone had brought from their own house. They couldn't buy new glasses? When the food arrives my friends rice bowl looks very nice and she really liked it. My chicken fingers look store bought and prefrozen. I cut into my chicken fingers to find out they weren't actual chicken tenders they were pre frozen PROCESSED chicken shaped in the form of a chicken finger. They tasted like nothing and we asked the waitress to return the chicken and give me grilled chicken instead. The grilled chicken came out in about 10 minutes but at that point my fries were cold. The ranch they served with it was gummy store bought ranch and nothing to brag about. I was hesitant to leave a review until I ran in to a staff member last night. I was telling that person how horrible the food was and they confirmed they had a lot of complaints and that often times they would just go down to the local super center and buy frozen food to serve. This is not a Tavern, this is a bar trying to serve food without any effort. Do not waste...

My husband and I decided to try Ball Ground Tavern for a dinner date. When we first arrived, there was no one eating inside. There did seem to be a few people eating outside on the back patio from what I could tell. The service was strong at first, and we got our drinks and appetizer quickly. We ordered the choriqueso on the menu. For me, it was too greasy, and I only took a few bites. My husband thought it was okay and ended up finishing it throughout our dinner. I ordered the chicken tortilla soup, and he ordered the waffle Nachos with steak and lemon pepper wings. He did try to order the potato soup but was told they didn't have it anymore after the server put our order with the kitchen. This was fine, but they may want to update their menu or mention it when we first tried to order it. After a bit, the waffle Nachos and the wings came out, but my soup did not. We thought they would be going back to get it, but that didn't happen. I will say my husband said the wings were good. We ended up sharing the waffle Nachos, which were yummy. However, my soup still not had come out. After about 10 minutes, our server came to check on us and our food. This is when we had to remind them about my soup, which they had forgotten. They went to the kitchen and had to tell them to make it (I guess?). This ended up being about another 15 minutes, and we ended up just asking them to change it to a to go order. We had finished all of the other food at this time. I'm not sure if the server was having a bad day or what happened, but it was frustrating to never get the food I ordered during dinner. The food was good and the prices were okay. The atmosphere was also okay. The service could have been much better, which is why I'm giving an overall 2. We will probably not go back unless we order everything to go. Hopefully, this was a one-time thing, and maybe we caught them...

It was a place if your looking for good service and feel welcomed may as well pass this one. Walked in and three people behind bar and not a hello or you can sit anywhere until I said do we sit anywhere and they finally said yes. Waitress finally came over with menus and to get our drink order. This was on a Monday and place was empty around dinnertime. Got our drinks and asked her to give a few minutes to decide. Well that was a bad idea because she went behind the bar to chat with other workers for what seemed Like 15 minutes and then she was making a drink for another table and obviously couldnt find what she needed and the other two employees just stood there and could have cared less that we were sitting to order. If not for us being very hungry we would have walked out. Finally she comes to take our order and then we got the wrong appetizer asked for cheese and chips she brought the trio dip that was of course $4.00 more. Asked for the wings to be crispy well of course didnt come crispy. I will say the food was good as it was but what a disaster. In closing asked bartender who brought the wings for napkins he so generously brought 2 napkins. Also we always pay cash in new places we have not visited before and they added a service charge for non cash. Sorry to run on but hopefully the owner will look at this review and make it their priority to train the employees on...
